In this paper, the authors present the design of a suitable gear transmission with the
continuously changing gear ratio in the range from 0.5 through 1.0 to 2.0 and back during …

Indexing mechanism is one of the most important mechanisms in automated machineries.
Various kinds of indexing mechanisms have found existence in application, including cam …

Current research of non-circular gear processing mainly focuses on gear hobbing. However,
this method has many limitations including being unable to process internal gears or non …

Accurate determination of flowmeters' design and manufacturing parameters ensures that
commercially available flowmeters' declared characteristics are reliable. In this study, nine …

A novel cosine gear drive is presented in this paper. The pinion of the drive utilizes a cosine
curve as the tooth profile. It takes the zero line of the cosine curve as the pitch circle, a period …

The paper focuses on the contribution of the Italian clockmaker Giovanni Dondi (1330–
1388). He authored the manuscript Tractatus Astrarii documenting, with text and drawings …

Face-milling cutting method, widely used in the generation of spiral bevel gear, can also be
applied to cylindrical gear fabrication. This paper, generalizing the method to non-circular …

Currently, researches on planar gears (including cylindrical gear, noncircular gear) are
primarily concerned with those of fixed center distance, that is, the center distance between …

Noncircular planetary gear has simple structure and wide application, but its dynamics
research is still blank. Therefore, this paper designs and establishes a 3–4 noncircular …

Intermittent motion mechanisms are widely used in semiautomatic and automatic machinery.
Currently, the most common are mechanisms with a one-way coupling or mechanisms of …
